MONTROSE TOWNSHIP, MI -- Portions of Seymour and Morrish roads will be repaired this summer in a deal between the county road agency and Montrose Township.

The Genesee County Road Commission at its Tuesday, April 2, meeting agreed to pay part of the estimated $73,794 price tag for pavement repair and single chip seal of Seymour Road, between Lake and Willard roads, and Morrish Road, between Wilson and Vienna roads.

The work will go from mid-June through the first portion of July, said John Daly III, manager director of the road commission.

"When we get to the point where we are chip sealing, we'll have to close some portions of the road," he said.

The township will cover about $49,280 of the costs, with the road commission paying the rest.

The repairs to the road are essentially a surface overlay that is a mixture of rubber, asphalt emulsion and small stone chips.

"It serves as a surface life extension," Daly said. "It will get you another five years out of the road."
